The Russellville Police Department had extra officers on the campus of Russellville High School Friday following rumors of premeditated violence at the school.

The response by RPD came after officers investigated rumors of threats of violence that would be carried out on the high school campus today, a statement from RPD Public Information Officer Drew Latch stated.

Latch said RPD found no truth to "rumors involve various levels of disturbances today" and that "every rumor has been investigated and found not factual."

The Russellville Police Department released the following statement Friday morning:

The Russellville Police Department has heard several rumors involving the Russellville High School. These rumors involve various levels of disturbances today. Every rumor has been investigated and found to be not factual. Russellville Police Department will have extra officers on campus Friday for the students' peace of mind.

A few holes from your news report:

1. What are the "disturbances"? Media didn't use to settle for "no comment" from police -- please FOI police records that document the threats and let your readers know what they are.

2. What efforts did the police take to investigate the threats? For the serious nature of these threats (serious enough to position more police officers there), it seems from your reports that they quickly dismissed them.

3. Police are acting like everybody already knows what the threats are. Most parents don't. When you don't discuss them -- and hide them, like RPD is doing -- you just create a situation where imaginations run wild. Just tell the truth, RPD.

4. Hold the police accountable, Courier. When you let the police write the story for you, you aren't doing your job.

5. Please learn the difference between student's and students'. I'm sure they are attempting to create peace of mind for more than one student.

The Courier is working on a story on the threats at Russellville High School. We are talking to both police and school district officials, and gathering information.

The RPD press release came to The Courier before 8 a.m. today and we printed that information to let the public know there was a situation, and that police had investigated the matter, and that for safety reasons, additional police were on campus today.

A source tells me the brothers of a student involved in a fight Thursday were supposedly coming to campus later in the day, which prompted an increased police presence on campus yesterday. The brothers never arrived and were warned they would be arrested if they came to the campus, according to my source.
